Mystery Ferrari to be unveiled September 17

Ferrari looks set to unveil a new model at its headquarters in Maranello, Italy on September 17.

The new model is code-named the F176 and thought to be based on the 812 Superfast.

This suggests it might be a one-off model developed by Ferrari’s Special Projects coach-building service, or possibly a limited-edition model like the J50 unveiled in 2016 to mark 50 years of Ferrari sales in Japan. The 812 Superfast’s predecessor, the F12 Berlinetta, also spawned a limited-edition model in 2016: the F60 America built to celebrate 60 years of Ferrari sales in the United States.

Ferrari has a section on its website with more details on the F176, though to access it you will need a Reserved My Ferrari login, which is provided to customers of the brand. Motor1 has managed to obtain a teaser posted on the site, however. It doesn’t reveal much but hints at an open-top design for the F176.

We know an open-top version of the 488 Pista is coming, though that car is expected to debut later this month during Monterey Car Week.
